Jameer Nelson - Shooter of the Month for December

Since the NBL just announced their awards for December, its a perfect time for me to do the same. I know we're half-way through January already but at least I'm a few days earlier than last month! Here is the winner of our Shooter of the Month award, click on the title below to read the full story and find out more about Jameer Nelson (pictured right).

Jameer Nelson - Shooter of the Month for December

There was plenty of competition for last month's Shooter of the Month award. The list of contenders in no particular order were:

* Danny Granger - Indiana Pacers in the NBA (46.6% fg, 86.8% ft, 3.1 triples per game)
* Randy Foye - Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA (49.7% fg, 87.8% ft, 2.2 triples per game)
* Jason Terry - Dallas Mavericks in the NBA (47% fg, 95.7% ft, 2.6 triples per game)
* Shawn Redhage - Perth Wildcats in the NBL (54% fg, 95% ft, 57% 3pfg)
* Adam Ballinger - Adelaide 36ers in the NBL (47% fg, 90% ft, 52% 3pfg)

The winner for December's Shooter of the Month award goes to Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson. His numbers were 17.6 points per game, 52% from the field, 81% from the line and he's averaging 2.6 triples per game.

After giving the award to bigman Adam Ballinger last month, I'm glad that we're back to one of my more stereotypical favourites ... a barely 6 foot tall point guard.
